Li Wufeng was also aware of the crisis facing Heshuo, but in order to achieve substantial progress in the Five Lakes and Peninsula areas, he had invested all the troops he could in the Five Lakes and Peninsula. The Second Army had already arrived in Sula. In the Principality of Weixi, they are about to launch a counterattack together with the Fourth and Sixth Legions. The good days of the Machikhans are coming to an end, and the situation in Wuhu is even better. The stronger the Situ family coalition forces are in the north, the only Being able to prove that they are weaker in Jiangnan and the East China Sea, Wu Feng can conclude that Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou will never stop at Wuhu in this case, and the urgent letter from Huzhou proves Wu Feng's inference.
But none of this seems to be able to save Heshuo, who is in danger. The Second Ranger Regiment is still roaming around Yunzhong and Yulin. Hundreds of thousands of troops surround Yunzhong. If the situation continues to develop according to the current situation, the annihilation of the entire Fifth Army and the fall of Yunzhong is almost certain. Things, the only hope now is to see how long Kamapov's Fifth Army can hold on in the cloud. If it can hold on until the four Ranger regiments return eastward, there is still a glimmer of hope for the situation in the cloud, but the iron caltrops rope fence The emergence of the Rangers has cast a shadow over the use of the Rangers' advantages. Although it is judged through careful analysis that as long as the Rangers have reasonable tactics and make full use of their maneuvering speed, the role of this caltrops rope fence can be reduced to a minimum or even ignored. , but it is conceivable that the Rangers will never be as effective as they were in the Battle of Jerok. Especially when the enemy is prepared to choose a reasonable terrain for defense, the restrictions on the use of the Rangers will be obvious.
Lonely for a long night, Wu Feng, who was a little tired, pressed his temples and rubbed them gently. There seemed to be only one way to solve the problem in front of him, and that was to abandon the imperial capital, let Song Tianxiong's division withdraw west to reinforce Jinzhong, and let Jinzhong's third The Fourth Division of the Legion is galloping to reinforce Longquan. Two divisions are weak and I believe they can hold on for a week. During the week, one or two divisions from the Jerok Legion can be mobilized to advance eastward. Although this will prevent the northern front from Kaman and Sisro's power was greatly weakened, but he had come this far. It seemed like the only option was to take such a risk. But in this way, the chess pieces he had painstakingly laid out in the Imperial Capital almost came to nothing. If Huangfu Tiancheng doesn't have Song Tianxiong to support him, will he still stand unswervingly on his side? Wu Feng himself was not sure. With the Tiger Wing Army in the Imperial Capital, the officers and soldiers of Huangfu Tiancheng Division might still think that Xijiang could control the Imperial Capital. Now that this force is gone, the situation is very different. The soldiers of the Guards They all come from the imperial capital, who can let go of all this easily? Even if Huangfu Tiancheng could do it, it was impossible for his subordinates to do it. Then the imperial capital will become the Situ family.
"Your Highness, have you really decided to do this? Do you need to discuss it with Xiao Tang and the others?" Ling Tianfang also felt in a dilemma. The servants had already changed the coffee twice, but they still haven't made up their minds yet. , which shows the difficulty of this decision. At the beginning, they had gone to great lengths and even risked His Highness's own safety to drive the Tiger Wing Army into the Imperial City as a wedge, but now they had to give up when the overall situation was very good. How could this not make people sigh with regret. Ling Tianfang can conclude that as soon as the Tiger Wing Army leaves the Imperial City, the situation in the Imperial City will immediately change, and the Xijiang faction still has a huge and complex network of interests and relationships in the Imperial City. These are all likely to be catastrophic. But now it seems that there is no time to arrange all this.
"Well, there's no need to discuss anything more. It's been decided. You immediately send Cui Wenxiu and Bo Jinchen an urgent letter to let Cui Wenxiu take charge of Qinghe. The Sixth Ranger Regiment will immediately reinforce the Longquan Jinzhong front line. It will delay the advancement of the city guards. , the Fourth Division of the Third Army of Jinzhong will immediately enter Longquan Fucheng to assist in the defense. Longquan must be defended. Here, the Tiger Wing Army will enter Jinzhong to strengthen defense. The intelligence department will pay attention to the movements of the Eighth and Ninth Corps. Although these two legions have combat effectiveness It’s not worth mentioning. But there are too many ants to bite the elephant to death, so we must guard against the Situ family’s dog jumping over the wall and making a desperate move. Now the Situ family has put all its efforts into sucking the baby. As long as it survives this period of time, it’s time for the Situ family to step down. It's time for the stage of history." He held his chin with both hands and squeezed the stiff muscles on his cheeks. At this time, Wu Feng seemed to have regained his former determination, and his deep eyes under his thick eyebrows looked particularly dark under the candle shadow.
"Your Highness, as soon as the Tiger Wing Army left the imperial capital, many of our arrangements had to be rearranged, which will have a great impact on our later deployment." Ling Tian hesitated when he actually made this decision.
"I know this better than you. Although the Imperial Capital is the center, as long as Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou can solve Jiangnan for me, the East China Sea will not be a problem. Jiangnan and the East China Sea fall into my hands, and seizing the Imperial Capital is just a matter of course. But The negative impact of the loss of Longquan is too great. It will greatly boost the arrogance of the City Guards Corps and the Imperial Third Army. Pinglu in the west and Jinzhong in the south will face greater pressure, so we must not retreat. , can't even take half a step, no matter how high the price is! Alas, we don't have any reserve forces in this area. Maybe I was a little eager for success and used the reserve forces too early. I didn't expect that this old guy Yusuf would still give me some help. I'm here to draw the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron. Well, we only have strong men who can cut off their wrists and accompany us to the end. The most important problem now is that we must hold on to Longquan Mansion, and we must also hold on to Yunzhong Mansion. As long as the four ranger regiments come back, this It will only take a battle to turn things around, otherwise any loss will put us in an extremely passive situation." Hidden in the shadows, Wu Feng's ferocious look faded and appeared, "Tian Fang, the Luo Bei people are marching to the east of the Ranger Regiment. The formation needs to be accelerated, and the Sykes tribe of the Boyin people should be notified immediately, so that they can find an excuse to take action in the north to contain the Heathrow people."
Ling Tianfang was shocked, but the expression on his face did not change: "Your Highness is worried about the Sisluo people?"
"It's hard to say. It's better to be careful in this situation. Situ Tai can even ask people from Pu'er to mobilize, so why won't he try to take advantage of the Heathrow people? The current Prime Minister of the Heathrow people is a mature and prudent person, but the product Dong means he is a fool, and interests can sometimes make people impulsive. I don’t want the Sisluans to get involved anymore, so it’s the best way to let the Sikes tribe relax with them." Wu Feng smiled slightly. Wanting to relieve the other party's nervous mood, "Don't be too nervous. This is just a precautionary measure. Damn Yusuf, and Situ Yushuang, this bitch, I am the one who got it this time, but this revenge I’ll let them pay it back slowly.”
Ling Tianfang subconsciously licked his lips. His boss's action was similar to that of a blood-sucking maniac, making Ling Tianfang seem to predict the tragic fate of the two of them in the future.
Yusuf stared at the schematic diagram unfolded by his staff with a gloomy face, but a pair of cold eyes wandered on the faces of the surrounding generals: "What's going on? Why is the Third Division still stopping at Mopangou? Three hours , even if it’s crawling, he should have crawled across Mopan Ditch for me!”
"Legion Commander, the Third Division was continuously harassed by local troops in Western Xinjiang, and then was harassed by enemy rangers, so..." Seeing the unkind look on his boss's face, the chief of staff quickly stood up to explain.
"That's enough. Needless to say, local troops? Some country soldiers can make him stay away? When he was with women, I saw that he couldn't even give an inch of ground to the dukes and marquises in the imperial capital. Now some country soldiers are scaring him. Is it like this?! Rangers? There will also be Rangers in Mopangou? Do the Rangers dare to enter Mopangou? Don't tell me that there are traces of rangers thirty miles away, so he was so scared that he wet his pants and ordered the third division to go dark I rushed to the Fire Temple before, but I couldn't arrive on time, so I asked the deputy commander of the third division to come to me with the head of their division commander!"
Like ice slag rolling down from the snowy mountain pass, it fell into everyone's collars. Everyone's body couldn't help but shrink their necks. Even Bai Shengjian, the commander of the Empire's Third Army Corps, felt a chill in his neck. Yusuf It was only now that he truly saw the power of the city. It was no wonder that the city guards were commanded by him like an arm, and no one dared to disobey in the slightest.
The staff officer quickly recorded the order and sent people to the front line quickly. The air was almost frozen. Yusuf's cold face turned to the commander of the Third Army next to him, "Brother Shengjian, you should have been in charge of the Third Army." , but this time I am the commander-in-chief and the matter is very important, so I will obey the authority. Please forgive me, Brother Shengjian."
Yusuf did not say much amidst Bai Shengjian's humble words: "Why hasn't the Second Division of the Third Army crossed Laishui yet?"
"Commander-in-Chief, the amount of water in Laishui suddenly increased due to rain upstream, and the pontoon bridge was washed away, so..." The timid voice came from the chief of staff of the Third Army. Seeing that his army commander had no intention of explaining, he had no choice but to ask. He bit the bullet.
"I don't want to listen to these objective reasons. I wanted to use this division commander as a sacrifice to military law, but I'm afraid that people will say that I favor one over the other. Anyway, I will give him a limited time. I don't care what method he uses. If their division is still alive before dark, If not all of them crossed Laishui, the division commander and chief of staff were beheaded, and the deputy division commander succeeded him as division commander!"
The cold words left no room for negotiation, and seemed to have a hint of murderous intent. Yusuf didn't even bother to look toward the Third Army, and directly issued the next order, "Expand the scout's reconnaissance range to thirty miles." , our Chinese army will be stationed in Caijiapo tonight!"
